Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 18, 1907.

Application filed January 16, 1907. Serial No. 352,538.

5 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEWIS P. HALLADAY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Streator, in the county of Lasalle, State of. Illinois, haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement inPhonograph-HornSupports, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to phonograph horn supportsand it is illustrated inthe accompanying drawing wherein the figure shows an end and partsectional view of a phonograph apparatus containing my invention.

In the drawing A is the case from which the cover and phonographmechanism have been removed.

B is the top of the case projecting preferably at B and B C is an armwhich preferably lies across the top of the case and is hooked at C toengage the part B This arm is upwardly turned at C to carry thesupporting ring C for the sound conveyer C and the horn C The details ofthis part of the mechanism are not further here described.

Downwardly projecting from the arm 0 is the part D through which passesthe screw D having the thumb piece D The inner end of the screw Dcarries the clamping block E which is provided with a curved face toengage the edge B of the table top. By thus providing the horn supportproper, or

upward ortion G with a clam in device P P g which bears on both sides ofthe case or the lid so as to distribute the weight of the horn aroundthe case, I am able to get great strength and have a horn support whichwill be self contained. The weight of mechanism comes over the middle ofthe case, or at least is carried by the top of the case and the weightof'the horn on the part which supports it is thus thrown under theweight of the mechanism.

I claim:

As a new article of manufacture, a phono graph horn support comprising arigid arm provided at one end with an outer hook shaped portion to claspthe edge of the table and adapted to extend across the box, and havingan upwardly projecting portion at the other end" thereof carrying a hornsupporting ring, a threaded sleeve on the bottom of the arm beneath theupwardly projecting portion, a horizontally arranged screw threaded rodworking therein, and a clamp on the inner end of the rod adapted toengage the edge of the top of the tableopposite the edge engaged by thehook, substantially as described.

LEWIS P. HALLADAY.
